Description
Roller Gate – Advanced Water Flow Control for Plants and Channels
The roller gate is an essential piece of equipment for controlling water flow and providing flood protection, primarily used in water treatment plants and open water channels. Constructed from reinforced steel plate with rubber and stainless steel seals (AISI 316 or equivalent), the roller gate is designed to withstand high water pressures and ensure effective sealing. Highly adaptable, the roller gate can be customized to meet specific site conditions.
The roller gate features versatile operating systems, including single and double-acting hydraulic cylinders, as well as an electric motor with a reducer. Robust rollers facilitate the opening and closing operations even under imbalanced conditions.
Available accessories for the roller gate include diversion systems, hydraulic units, electrical cabinets, and original spare parts. The design, manufacturing, and final testing of the roller gate are conducted in accordance with UNI EN ISO 9001 standards. The main materials used in the construction of the roller gate include S355J2G3 EN 10025 steel for structural components, neoprene rubber for sealing, and A2-70 bolts for joint fixation. The roller gate can be manufactured in a wide range of dimensions, without limitations on width or height.
The adaptability and robustness of the roller gate make it an ideal solution for various water control applications. Whether in a water treatment facility or an open channel system, the roller gate provides reliable performance and durability. With its flexible design and high-quality materials, the roller gate ensures efficient and long-lasting operation, making it a key component in modern water management infrastructure.
